street markup.

That's not how it works.

Stolen goods or inventory that you're trying to unload are sold at a discount. Why would somebody pay more on the street if they can get it cheaper at an actual store?

What the hell sort of fly by night company sends diamond bracelets in ziplock baggies?

Also- re: the questionable math. If he really got 100 then that would make the $200,000 sum he came up with.

Probably had an actual value of about 10k...if that. The markups on jewelery is insanely high.

Clever use of the hand photo. That photo alone speaks volumes.

I would have held onto the extras for a while to see if the store actually noticed. After a decent amount of time went by, I’m getting money for it.

the manager followed up with an email to Dickerson, thanking him for his honesty and providing a pre-paid shipping label for returning the inventory.


Manager still seems suspect. That seems like the kind of thing you hop on a plane for and personally ensure that the merchandise is returned to the company, not leave to a customer's word and some shipping company.

I would of return them. Had a bank teller give a extra $3200 one time. Didn't count the money package till I got home. One of my buddies ran that bank and I called him. He came and picked it up. He later told me it was a new teller and got nerves doing a big cash with draw. This happen at a drive up window.

You are not obligated to return anything that was shipped to you, according to the FTC.

Did I read it right that they just gave him some free earrings? They couldn't have refunded his $2k for the bracelet?
